“It is a key part of the investigation that’s still going to need to occur,” Davidson told reporters on Thursday morning. “At this point, we have no idea what the motivation is.”

“The lack of motivation, the lack of planning, lack of history, lack of contact with the family, all those things started really making us believe that this person wasn’t able to safely care for an eight-year-old,” Davidson continued.

An AMBER Alert was nearly issued in this case, however the child was located before investigators were able to determine whether the case met the criteria for one.
